Spiral Tilt Balances and Pivot lock shoes

A home owner from St Peters, MO says:
Needing to purchase some spiral tilt balances and pivot lock shoes. Windows on our house are vinyl and approx 25 years old. The outer covering on the balances (35" length) is also vinyil/plastic and are the 5/8 " (measures more like the 9/16"). Tip colors on the balances don't seem to correspond to what's on your color code list for some reason. Tips on the wider 35" windows are yellow (see attached), while the tips on the 20" wide windows are black in color. Will the 600 series balance work? By your color chart I'm thinking I would need blue tip balance for the 35" wide windows and red tip for the 20" windows. Thoughts? Also need to get a few pivot lock shoes. See attached photo current pivot lock shoe and window channel that inserts in to the shoe. With of the shoe is 1-1/8" width, 2" tall, and 5/8" depth. Thanks

I agree, our S600-35 looks like the best option. I'm not sure about the tip color, though. That would depend on the weight of the sash. As long as your sash weight falls in the weight range indicated by the chart on the S600-35 store page then it should work fine.

As for the pivot shoe, our 15-047 matches the dimensions you gave us. I would just double check your thickness to be sure.

I appreciate your help Tom. Checked the thickness of the pivot shoe again, and yes, and was 17/32 instead of 5/8, so looks like the 15-015 would probably be the right one. Thanks again.
